OA679: Norm Can’t Stop Effing Up at Lawyering

OA672: How Conservative Courts Rewrite History

Andrew takes us back into Citizens United to illustrate for the umpteenth time just how glaringly dishonest originalists are, and the rabbit trail takes us all the way to 1910’s Montana and elections bought and paid for at $750 a pop.
In the first segment, is Clint Curtis f@cking crazy? Yes. So, despite what Andrew said in a past episode, he will NOT be following up with him. Then, Thomas AND Chat GPT take the bar exam!

OA671: Speaker McLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Sorry this is just so funny and we all deserve to enjoy it. We recorded this early due to a cyclone that wasn’t very bomb, and yet everything Andrew said and researched remains perfectly timely as of release due to the fact that McCarthy has failed EVEN MORE VOTES. It’s so great. But Andrew has for us a deep-dive on the history of this, and just how unprecedented it really is.
PLUS an update – Elon Musk is still an idiot. And SO bad at business. Just… so, so bad.
